Supporting a golf dream—
During the last week in August the Shivas Irons Society received a request from Alexander (Xander) Dobreff, a 22 year-old man in Illinois, who was seeking sponsorship to play in the North American One-Armed Golfer’s Association (NAOAGA) National Championship... A horrific automobile accident in July, 2009 had cost him the use of his left arm and it was his love of golf and his passion for the game that served a pivotal role in bringing him back from despair to a joyful life filled with excitement for the future.
The Shivas Irons Society is pleased to join with others and support Xander’s “dream” of playing in this prestigious tournament with a $700 financial grant from our “Golf Dream Fund” which was established to provide a transformational experience to a golfer, or member of a golfer’s family, in a time of medical, financial, or psychological need.
